Random Day 1 (so far) thoughts:
-Heat coming out big winners so far. Lowry deal. Duncan back. Butler locked up long term. I'm not super high on PJ, but its just like I said back when he was available for teams at the deadline; he's basically washed but all you really hope from him is that he can frustrate a star for a game or two in the playoffs. That's exactly what happened with the Bucks against Durant and it worked for them.
-Biggest WTF contract so far for me is Fournier to the Knicks. I thought the Knicks had new management and were actually good? That was a move the old Knicks would have made.
-Spurs with a couple of head scratchers too. I'd totally take a flier on Zach Collins. Kid has a lot of talent but AWFUL injury luck. But it'd be a 1 year, prove it deal. Not 3 years for 22. Wtf
-Speaking of WTFs, what is New Orleans doing? Are they actively trying to drive Zion out of town? I somewhat understand letting Lonzo go at that price. Graham is an underrated player. But none of this feels like they're doing anything to get better.
-Shocked Jeff Green left the Nets. He was pretty important to them. Its surprising the Nets in general haven't been all that active getting vets or their own back besides Blake Griffin.
-Caruso
-As for the other Lakers moves, I love having Dwight back. I like the Ellington signing and hopefully he doesn't forget how to shoot since apparently the Lakers are cursed since every "shooter" they bring in shoots worse with us the last couple of years. Ariza...eh. I think he's washed but we'll see. Hopefully Gay is still on the way or Danny Green. Bazemore is just ok. Numbers last year were pretty solid but I've never been a big fan of him. Doesn't really come thru much when it matters. Surprised he left GS since it seemed like he bought in (what's up with GS not attracting people so far?)
Oh fuck.
I saw that and will laugh if he plays in 45 or so gamed getting 8-9mpg. He isn't very good.
the Lakers should have interest in a backup PG
